The 4,000-word chapter is presented.

Thanks to the two book friends of Shenfeng Building, SF and Jiuxuanqu, for their rewards.

……

With Duan Chengfeng's tragic death, there was only a black-clothed knife-wielding young man left at the scene.

He, naturally, is Xu Bai who participated in this multi-person combat mission: "The Strongest Competitor".

At this time, on Xu Bai's body, there were already three more obviously dented claw marks on the chest, shoulders and thighs, although they did not completely break through the defense of the black scale suit, but they had actually caused some damage to his body.

Of course, this small injury has little impact on Xu Bai, the basic resistance of the black scale suit is enough to deal with the attacks launched by most of the primary infected creatures, as long as he avoids the head, which is a vital part that the black scale suit cannot protect, then it will not let him suffer fatal damage.

When the second phase of this mission officially began, Xu Bai found himself on his mission tracking diagram and found that he had been surrounded by a group of ten carrion dogs, and the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters.

Like a long-planned calculation that was completely aimed at him, and without giving him the slightest time to prepare, the ten carrion dogs rushed up directly and quickly attacked from different street directions in the residential area at that time, blocking almost all of his escape space.

Xu Bai made a decision immediately, and chose the direction close to Xingyun Middle School to forcibly break through, and now the claw marks left on his body were caused by the attack of those carrion dogs when he broke through before.

It's also unavoidable.

In the face of the joint pursuit of ten carrion dogs, even Xu Bai was extremely difficult to deal with, so he could only fight while running, constantly pulling the space, and when he found an opportunity, he would kill one with all his might, and then transfer his position, as close as possible to the area with complex roads and more dodge space.

All the way to now, he has killed four carrion dogs, and with the number of previous kills, he only needs the last kill point to complete the first mission requirement.

This is not the most important thing, since leaving the original old and low residential area, Xu Bai has a feeling of being secretly peeped at, even if the other party is well hidden, but he can still faintly perceive that familiar and unique atmosphere after a hundred battles.

It's the shadow cat!

First, there was the siege of ten carrion dogs, followed by the shadow cat's covert ambush, Xu Bai didn't understand what was going on at this time, but his brain was filled with water.

Obviously, the new task rules are set for him.

The armed heraldic is estimated to have observed his previous performance, and felt that if this task was carried out according to the original rules, it would be too easy for Xu Bai, so he took the initiative to increase the difficulty and put the pressure on Xu Bai's body.

This is quite normal.

The Armed Embarm is extremely intelligent, and it will not allow any armed person to easily complete the tasks it has set, which will not have any test effect on it.

In fact, while it doesn't care about the life or death of any armed person - it doesn't have that kind of emotion,—— it doesn't issue or set a mortal mission to test the survivability of the armed person.

Just like now, since it sent a shadow cat and ten carrion dogs to besiege Xu Bai, it means that it thinks that Xu Bai has a chance to be the victorious side, even if the odds are very small.

On another level, this is also a good thing for Xu Bai. The difficulty of the task is greater, and the rewards that can be obtained will inevitably increase, and as long as the task is completed, he will naturally grow faster than other armed people.

As a person who has come over, Xu Bai himself actually knows very well that many actions of the armed heraldry seem to be unworthy of life, but in fact, he is consciously engaged in a life-and-death competition of survival of the fittest, or an elite training and training.

Once it discovers a person with outstanding potential armed ability, then it will generally give more attention and opportunities, and of course, this also means more danger.

This is also why those who have outstanding armed abilities in the previous life, such as understanding, heart, and combat power, are often able to break through extremely quickly, and quickly distance themselves from the people of the same period.

The growth speed of some talented guys is like a rocket rising, which makes the chasers behind him sigh.

Not to mention others, the current Xu Bai has obviously become a key object of investigation of the armed heraldry.

If you zoom in again, it's like a chess game that has just started, and Xu Bai has become a more conspicuous pawn on its chessboard; As a target at the forefront, Xu Bai may be killed soon, but he may also become the last victorious soldier.

The current shadow cat is equivalent to the first important assessment set by the armed heraldic for Xu Bai.

After passing the assessment, then he will naturally usher in more opportunities next; And if it fails, it's a dead end.

Since he has the title of Hunter, it is impossible for the shadow cat that appears here to survive any of the armed abilities that appear in his field of vision.

Either you die, or I die!

Okay, let's get down to business.

At this moment, even if he was completely surrounded by six carrion dogs, Xu Bai still did not show the slightest panic, his calm and condensed eyes always looked at the little black cat that appeared seventy or eighty meters away and looked harmless.

Two pairs of deep and boundless black pupils, one high and one low, joined together almost at the same time, without any sparks, and both sides appeared unusually calm.

On the ground, the little black cat's tail swayed gently, and the pair of unfathomable pupils as deep as a black hole once again flashed with that kind of demonic and impermanent light, like two endless black vortices, trying to deal with the previous Duan Chengfeng, causing damage to Xu Bai from the spiritual level.

"Little one, this level of magic pupil is useless to me!"

The corners of Xu Bai's mouth raised a touch of sarcasm, his eyes suddenly condensed, and the aura around his body quickly rose, like a sharp sword that bloomed with edge, and it directly dispersed and dissolved the spiritual power projected in the eyes of the little black cat opposite.

If someone can look inward, they can find that at this moment, the only Origin Life Element in the new life core of Xu Bai's abdomen dantian life core that has been condensed and has been running quietly has begun to flash a faint strange light, and it vibrates slightly, constantly overflowing with powerful invisible air currents, merging into Xu Bai's limbs and hundreds of remains, making his body strength directly increase!

The first nascent Origin Natal Element, which Xu Bai had condensed through the Advanced Pei Yuan Gong, finally exerted his power.

This also means that Xu Bai has really entered the state of going all out!

On the other side, the little black cat obviously felt the dangerous aura from Xu Bai's body, straightened up its petite and slender body, and began to overflow with extremely rich black gas around it, its hair stood up, sharp teeth bared out from the corners of its lips, and the black pupils emitted a bloodthirsty and crazy fierce light, and the momentum also continued to rise, just like a cold killer hiding in the dark night suddenly showed his killing blade, and never regained his original docile and calm appearance.

Meow!

The little black cat raised its head, accompanied by a sharp and piercing cat meow, and suddenly, the six carrion dogs that originally surrounded Xu Bai roared as if they had received an attack order issued by their superiors, and they all rushed towards Xu Bai who was standing in the middle of the campus road.

Xu Bai raised the Glaive Knife in his hand with an indifferent face, with a cruel and excited smile on the corner of his mouth - he moved!

Leaving a faint afterimage on the spot, the six carrion dogs pounced at the same time, and the next moment, Xu Bai's figure suddenly appeared behind a carrion dog, holding a knife in both hands and slashing at its head, and the Mo Qing blade with terrifying power directly split it from head to tail The bloody two halves!

After receiving the blessing of the Origin Element, his strength, speed, and nerve reactions all increased to a new level.

Roar!

The other five carrion dogs reversed their bodies and pounced again, and Xu Bai's soles of his feet spun and turned, and his body became elusive like a swinging spirit snake.

Before he could see his movements, his continuously changing and elusive strange figure had crossed through the five carrion dogs with great speed, and at the same time, he slashed two sharp swords in succession, and the two carrion dogs that fell behind were thrown away with a miserable howl, and Qi Qi was choked by a knife and fell to the ground.

Body-type combat skill - sliding step!

This is also the first time that Xu Bai has shown his good body skills.

Before, he couldn't do this because of the limitations of his combat power attributes, but now with the blessing of the Origin Destiny, his explosive power in all aspects has been comprehensively improved, and he can barely perform the current body technique that can only be regarded as an entry-level step: sliding step.

There are three basic realms of the body, which are divided into agility, subtlety, and perfection. Each realm is divided into three stages: entry, small success, and large completion.

Sliding is a kind of body method that belongs to the entry-level of the Smart Movement Realm.

This style of body allows the user to make some irregular but varied dodge moves in a very small space, like greasing the soles of the feet, which can play a very good role in close combat and facing sieges.

Don't think it's just an entry-level technique that is easy to learn, it's much more difficult to master than learning offensive techniques of the same level.

Just like this sliding step now, in a month, there are few armed people who can display it as agily and freely as Xu Bai.

Meow!!

Seeing Xu Bai kill three carrion dogs in a row, the little shadow cat on the opposite side finally couldn't help it, screamed sharply, shook his body slightly, and disappeared in place.

The next moment, the little shadow cat had already appeared in the sky above Xu Bai, and the pitch-black claws waved down, and a powerful attack wave was actually shot out of the body, turning into an invisible claw, directly tearing the air and hitting Xu Bai head.

A series of actions is only a matter of the blink of an eye.

"Huh?"

Xu Bai's heart was cold, he didn't have time to dodge, he raised the knife to block up, only to hear the sound of "bang", Xu Bai's body sank slightly, the glaive knife shook violently, and the tiger's mouth holding the knife hurt, barely blocking the invisible claws that fell down!

He jumped up sharply, and at the same time drew his knife and slashed at the little shadow cat in mid-air, like the light of the moon knife swept past its body, but it didn't touch anything.

Fake!

Xu Bai's toes had just landed, and the sound of breaking wind sounded in his front, back, and left directions at the same time, and the same three invisible claw strikes roared almost at the same time, hitting Xu Bai's head, chest, and lower abdomen.

Xu Bai's eyes were slightly condensed, and he unhurriedly swung his knife to block three consecutive blocks in different directions, and even followed all the attacks of the little shadow cat, but the extremely strong impact from the knife surface had already shook his arm slightly numb and sore.

However, this is only the beginning.

In Xu Bai's perception, the breath of the ghost-like little shadow cat was rotating rapidly around him, and the naked eye could capture seven or eight identical little shadow cats, also moving extremely fast, leaving a variety of afterimages in different postures on the spot, not knowing which one was true and which was false, and it was impossible to capture its true body through the breath.

Shadow clone!

Xu Bai knew that this was a phantom talent belonging to the shadow cat: it was able to blend itself into it with the help of dim light, almost becoming a part of the air, as if it was invisible, and then it became completely unable to lock the qi.

The seven or eight little shadow cats that appeared in Xu Bai's eyes were actually all fake, illusory images left in the air by it through its phantom talent; Its true form is completely hidden, and it will only appear to unleash a killing blow when the target has a fatal flaw!

Not only that, but its phantom talent is aggressive, and under the control and mobilization of its hidden real body, each fake can launch an attack on the enemy, and the weakness is that the attack power is dispersed, and the lethality is also weakened by a part.

But even so, once all the fake bodies attack at the same time, it is a very terrifying thing. Because the attacks of the avatars are not fixed, they can change their position at any time.

Just like now, those seven or eight fake bodies were running around Xu Bai at high speed at the same time, like a black whirlwind, enveloping Xu Bai from all directions, and the naked eye couldn't keep up with his changing speed.

In the next moment, invisible claw strikes began to eject from the shadow clones that were constantly changing directions at high speed, attacking Xu Bai from different directions, covering almost all the dodge directions.

As the defensive side, Xu Bai actually closed his eyes directly, his face was calm, his breathing was slow, his body shook slightly, his feet were light and agile, and his body shape changed continuously.

Several invisible claw strikes hit the three carrion dogs in the rear who tried to get close to Xu Bai, but couldn't dodge, and tore several huge terrifying wounds on them, two of them were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and one died directly.

The other missing invisible claw strikes slammed into the concrete floor, and the rubble splattered, leaving deep claw marks.

Shout! Shout! Shout! …

After the first wave of attacks failed, the shadow clones of the little shadow cat became more and more crazy, without giving Xu Bai the slightest time to breathe, more invisible claw attacks had been continuously struck, like countless invisible arrows speeding at high speed, with a deadly aura.

Gradually, Xu Bai's figure, which was rapidly changing his position, began to blur.

The sliding steps of the Agility Realm alone could no longer completely dodge all the invisible claw attacks, he could only cooperate with his body and use the Glaive Knife to carry out all kinds of extremely subtle blocking attacks, and the invisible claw blows as sharp as knives flew past his cheeks and chest many times, and even the black-scaled battle suit on his body was torn apart one by one, and the situation was already thrilling.
